    Au Poivre Grilled Blue Fin Tuna Steak*
    Leah S.

    The new menu is very good! I was glad to see it freshened up with new ideas and dishes. The lamb was A+ and the blue cheese on the tuna was surprisingly delicious.

    Very strange menu.

    I hate to give this review of what used to be our favorite restaurant... but tonight was absolutely ridiculous. I understand that the bistro is under new ownership, and unfortunately they changed the things that used to make it great. Based on the overall ambiance of the place, you would expect to find hearty and classic dishes like a good steak with mashed potatoes or a simple but tasty fish dish, along with good and decently fast service. That is what the bistro used to be, and that is why we were loyal patrons. Unfortunately tonight we arrived for our reservation not realizing that everything had completely changed, including our favorite dishes on the menu. We were surprised to find a strange assortment of Asian fusion dishes and disappointed to see that our favorite item on the menu (the ribeye) had been done away with completely and our second favorite (the filet mignon) had been changed to a strange Greek style served with cucumbers and couscous. Imagine that you walked into an Asian-style restaurant and found out they served hamburgers... that's how it was walking into the bistro and finding an Asian fusion menu.... very strange. At that point we almost got up and left, but we were celebrating a birthday and already pretty hungry. We asked the very kind waitress if there was any way to get a filet cooked "the old way" instead of with the weird cucumber thing and she said she would ask the kitchen since apparently that is not an uncommon request and many people seem to have an issue with the new menu. They were able to accommodate, and we ordered.... And waited. And waited. And waited. For an hour and ten minutes. We got there at 5:35 for our reservation at 5:45, and we were basically the only people in the restaurant.... But we didn't get our food until 6:55. The waitress comped us one virgin mojito because "the kitchen was so backed up" - a nice gesture I suppose, but that's like $5 so not really that nice. After dinner, we made the absolute mistake of ordering dessert, which took another 45 minutes to arrive. The tiramisu was gross and super soggy and the crème brûlée was very very good. After that, it took another 30 minutes to get the $160 bill. I don't mind paying that for dinner, but when I do I expect things to be considerably better. The people seated around us were also talking about how they were disappointed by the menu and we saw one couple who hadn't been seated yet read it on their phones and then leave. We got there at 5:35pm on a Monday night and didn't leave until after 8pm. Paid $200 with tip for food that was tasty, but again... not on the menu. We won't be back until the new owners sell it to someone who knows how to run a restaurant.

    Cottage vibe. Very nice.

    I made reservations to eat here before we even left iowa for our vacation. This was our last meal during our short vacation in Colorado and it was the perfect ending. We had the filet and the Mahi. My wife's filet was out of this world. Onions, seasoning and the quality of the cut were as close to perfect as you can get. The Mahi was lightly seasoned, and the flavor of the fish was not compromised. Beautifully done. We hand the Blondie and the fruit tart for desert. Both were amazing. I think the Blondie was better and more what you would expect from a high end restaurant. Lots of flavors and the perfect amount of sweetness. Service was superb.

    Wonderful restaurant and amazing service. Tucked away in Evergreen with beautiful views. I had duck confit for dinner and my husband had the ribeye. We were both very impressed! Espresso martinis were also top notch!

    exceptional service. Food was divine, some of the best pork since we ate pork in Madrid at the oldest restaurant in the world. Happy hour was lovely. Great music and views. Saucers were inspired.

    Complimentary bread, pretty dense loaf but not bad. Vinegar and olive oil to dip in.

    We went here to have dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary because we were staying in the area. I feel badly giving this little restaurant a 2 star review but I felt I received diner quality food at bistro prices. Dessert was lovely though. Service was a bit scattered although the young lady helping bus the tables was very sweet, helpful and friendly. She recommended a fantastic dessert, a chocolate cake type thing with salted caramel ice cream. It was the best thing we ate. We started with crab cakes. This is our Go-To appetizer. We love trying and comparing them from place to place. At Marshadale we were served the worse crab cakes we have ever had. They were like warm, clearly old and mushy despite looking fried. The mango chutney they were served with didn't compliment them very well. And the flavor wasn't very good. Plus they were the smallest crab cakes I had ever seen. (If you're a Crab Cake lover I recommend MTN Prime's in Idaho Springs, large, moist inside and crispy outside and fantastically seasoned!) My husband and I both opted for the filet. He got his with the polenta cake and I got mine with their potatoes of the day, lavender. His filet was far under cooked from what he requested (served very rare, ordered medium rare) and mine was far over cooked from my requested medium well. (It was well done plus, with a bit of burning on the edges.) Neither of us thought the bacon onion accompaniment was very good. And in my case it kind of added to a char flavor. My potatoes had a weird texture to them. Kind of watery flavored and oddly grainy. Not like normal mashed potatoes. Maybe over boiled the potatoes before mashing? I could hardly eat them. The waitress only stopped by to check on me when I'd first taken one bite and hadn't tasted them so I couldn't ask for something else, sadly. She continued to not return again and we actually placed our dessert order with the young lady bussing tables. I also had to get up to request something more to drink from the hostess. The vegetable side was served rather luke warm. The restaurant was chilly anywhere not immediately by the fire, so they quickly became very cold. They had no discernible seasoning aside from possibly butter and reminded me of a Denny's vegetable side. I was disappointed because I LOVE well prepared vegetables. I ate one or two bites and didn't continue. Since we aren't frequent visitors to the area I probably wouldn't return and would try some of the other local establishments. If someone wants to celebrate a special occasion I have to recommend they drive further out west to dine in Breckinridge at Hearthstone, which is where we ate dinner the next evening. (Similarly priced entrees and much much much better quality with true gourmet creations perfectly cooked to order.)

    Are you looking for the perfect filet mignon? The Bistro at Marshdale is the place for you!

    The Secret's Out: Why Evergreen Bread & Cocktail Lounge is Our Forever Favorite…read moreFor a few years now, my wife and I have considered this place our little "under-the-radar" sanctuary. But let's be honest--when a spot is this good, a secret stays a secret for about as long as a fresh loaf of their bread lasts on a table. (Which is to say: not long at all.) Here is why Evergreen Bread & Cocktail Lounge remains our absolute go-to: * The Vibe: The atmosphere strikes that perfect, rare balance between sophisticated and soulful. Whether you're there for a quiet morning reflective coffee or a lively evening drink, the ambiance just works. * The Bread (Oh, The Bread!): It's the undisputed star of the show. It's consistent, artisanal, and frankly, addictive. If you haven't tried it yet, consider this your formal intervention. * More Than Just a Bakery: They consistently turn out dishes that are as thoughtful as they are delicious. From the first bite to the last sip of coffee, you can tell the kitchen actually cares. * The People: A restaurant can have great decor, but it's the staff that gives it a heart. The team here couldn't be warmer or more attentive; they make you feel like a regular from the moment you walk in. The Verdict? If you're looking for a spot that nails the transition from "morning bakery bliss" to "evening lounge elegance," this is it. We're already counting down the days until our next visit. Highly recommended--just don't be surprised if you have to fight us for a seat!

Staff are very friendly and really give it a make-yourself-at-home vibe that I personally appreciate in a good pub. I read a few of the other reviews and don't feel that CO Best Beer's boasts itself as a premiere Conifer sit-down restaurant, but their Pasty's are amazing (try the Shepherd's Pie) and most people are coming here on the regular for the great beer selection and laid back atmosphere anyways. Even the name says "Best Beers", so not real fair to judge it by their offering of snacks, though I find them to be just fine. It's also a small place that usually only needs 1-2 bartenders max, so even though they do come out to the tables often, a raised hand with a normal speaking voice or 3-5 steps to get up and walk to the bar to let them know your next order is not what I would consider any inconvenience at all. My only selfish suggestion is a dart board.

    I visit Denver quite often and was on the hunt for a new spot to grab a drink before heading to the…read more13th Floor "Love Bites" attraction. That's when I came across Dearly Departed and I'm so glad I did. We arrived right when they opened at 5pm and were able to walk in and be seated immediately. The speakeasy is tucked into the underground portion of the restaurant, which adds to the charm. The space is beautifully decorated, moody, intimate, and effortlessly upscale. It truly sets the tone the moment you walk down. We ordered two spritzes and a charcuterie board, and both exceeded expectations. The drinks were refreshing, perfectly balanced, and felt elevated without being overcomplicated. But the real star was the charcuterie board. For $20, it was an incredible value, stacked with a variety of meats, cheeses, fresh veggies, nuts, and peppers. The freshly grilled bread was a standout touch, and the portions were more than generous. Every bite felt thoughtfully curated, and there was something new and delicious in every corner of the board. Between the ambiance, the quality of the drinks, and the impressive food, Dearly Departed delivered an experience that felt both cozy and refined. I'd absolutely recommend checking it out for the atmosphere alone. I'm already looking forward to going back and trying more from their menu.

    I am very torn about this review, especially considering all the other rave reviews…read more.. Love the ambiance and love the staff -- it's a really cool addition to the neighborhood. Cozy spot for some classy bites and cocktails. I think I probably got off on the wrong foot when I asked for sparkling water instead of flat and found out it was $7 per personal mini bottle (and they don't have club soda). My first time encountering that in Denver in the last 14 years... The cocktail concept is cool: pick a classic, slightly updated, or super creative version from 5 categories (martini, old fashioned, sour, spritz, highball). The spicy mango sour (with mezcal) was awesome -- although I expected egg white on a sour. The martinis were ok... a bit of a let-down in today's collection of Denver martinis at other local spots (think anchovy, sour cream and onion, holy trinity, and old bay). The food was also hit or miss. We loved the cauliflower/potato Bravas with the slightly spicy sauce, as well as the croquettes and their sauce. The tuna crudo was super bland, which is disappointing for $19.
